Lol. I misread that whole post as Hi-Point instead of Hi-Power and thought "that's funny, right there"

That farmer needs one of these: Cow Dog

No doubt. When I was in H.S. I was in Air Force JROTC and we got to go up in a KC-135 and watch some Panavia Tornados with the RAF take on some go-go juice. One minute nothing but blue skies and green farms....then *POOF* someone's in line at the gas station.

Fallujah?

If you edit the first post, you will have the option to also edit the title. You could change the title to something like "Nevermind" or "Rescinded" then change thwe body of the first post to say. "I found what I was looking for" or something like that.

Nice. That beats the bad old days of waiting for months and bugging the snot out of Lisa Knight for updates.

This. I have always stayed around the water tower area and it has been great. I'll be going back for a Sox game at some point and would stay in almost any part of River North up through Gold Coast without hesitation.

POTUS's

So far it looks like a w00t! garage sale on a larger scale. I'm unimpressed.

I user loppers for most stuff and it works well. When I get into the bigger branches once a year or so, even the bow saw wears me out. Last time I just gave up and got out the old sawzall. I may try one of those plug-in electric pole saws. Thanks, everyone.

In my experience, "do whatever you want" does NOT mean I can do whatever I want. That's a woman's way of saying "Do it. I triple dog dare you to do it. Don't bother coming home if you do it."

You could put it over my fireplace.

I use the metal tomato cages. Keeps them upright. You can go a cheaper route if you have a bunch and stick a tall stake (6' or so) in the ground beside the plant, then loosely tie the plant to the stake with twine. Just be sure it's in deep enough to stay when the wind blows.

Anyone have experience with the battery chainsaws? I'd only use mine once or twice a year to take down 2 to 5 branches at a time. I'm thinking that over time, a small gas engine being used so little would start giving me trouble even with pure gasoline with PRG stabilizer. Pop Mech had some reviews not too long ago. seemed like they might be exactly what I want, if a little expensive for their size.

Google Fiber: Google Glass:

Yeah, do it soon. Staggering them over a few weeks is a good idea. I usually wait until late August to get my fall crop going because July feels too early.....then the frost always comes in right when things are looking good. I tell myself every year that I'm going to start them earlier, but I never do.

Google Fiber....not Google Glass.

I think you meant Google Fiber. Google Glass was the for-now discontinued always-on camera-in-the-glasses preferred by jackasses everywhere.

That's the easiest question in the world to answer. Money. The Reverends Jackson and Sharpton have been capitalizing on it for decades. It's just new faces doing the same dance.

The facts that are unknown at this time are what happened in between those two actions. The officer didn't have a body cam, so we'll never know as the live stream started after the second action. It's possible we have a racist cop that ignored "lawfully carrying with a license, sir. What are your instructions" and only heard "black dude with a gun OMG!". It's also possible that between action 1 and action 2, the officer told the man to keep his hands where he could see them and keep his hands away from his gun, but the man suddenly and quickly reached his hand to his side anyway. Maybe to get his wallet. Maybe to get his gun. Maybe he had a bad itch he just had to scratch. We'll probably never know the truth. The officer will say the man reached for his gun and he was in fear of his life. The fiancée will say the man was cooperating fully. Without video of the actual and complete stop, we'll never know.

H&R 940 .22LR revolver. Had the main spring and rod replaced. Worked fine for about 100 rounds, and now it's back to sometimes it fires....sometimes it doesn't. Rohm RG-10. Anything from Taurus. I've shot the PT-92 side by side with my Beretta and there's no comparison. For a couple hundred bucks difference, get the real thing. That goes for every Taurus, not just the PT-92. As a range gun, I have no problem with them, but I wouldn't bet my life on the bull.

My dad is a retired USAF chaplain. When we were at Kadena on Okinawa he was assigned to the 909th Air Refueling Squadron. He flew a lot of missions with those guys, including some to gas up the Habu, aka the SR-71 Blackbird. He has some great pictures from those flights. I'll try to get my hands on them, scan them, and post some up here. Of all the pictures he took in all the years around some amazing aircraft, those are still my favorites. Those and the Space Shuttle arriving at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma on the back of the 747. That was pretty cool too.

I'm not sure what it means to the military, but DO NOT Google that.
